Saint Annibale,
Champion of the Poor,
Instil in us your drive to do God's Work
Taking care of those in need.

Strengthen the bonds that bind us,
Fill our hearts with your desires,
Send labourers to work the harvest,
And guide our every deed,
So we can continue your journey,
Giving honour and glory to God.

Amen.

O Saint Annibale, full of heavenly love,
during your life here on earth,
you lived faithfully according to the interests,
of the Heart of Jesus Christ.

You followed His Divine Command
to pray for holy Vocations to His Church,
and dedicated your life
for the Poor and Little Ones.
For this, the Lord has blessed you
and preserved your heart incorrupted.

Intercede for us, loving Father,
that we may receive continuously
many and holy Vocations
to religious and priestly life.
Inflame our hearts with your love
that we may also extend our help
to the Poor and the Little Ones.

I pray to you, in particular,
to obtain for me from God
the necessary grace I ardently desire...

Bless me, O Father, and my family
that we may all live together
in unity, peace and love.

Amen.

Saint Annibale with children.

Divine Heart of Jesus,
you chose Saint Annibale Maria Di Francia
to be an apostle of Prayer for Vocations
and filled him with so much charity
to make him father of orphans and of the poor.

Give me, O Lord,
the strength to imitate
the virtues of your faithful servant
and grant me, through his intercession,
the grace of which I am in great need...

May all be for your greater glory
and the greater good of my soul.

Amen.
